From financial services firms to car manufacturers, all types of companies can benefit from understanding their customers on a deeper level.
Demographic information can be particularly useful for analyzing target markets. By segmenting consumers according to specific variables — such as age, gender, ethnic background, geographic location, or income — you can more readily identify different customer profiles and tailor your marketing and product development to meet the unique needs and preferences of these customers.
Demographic research can help you design more effective business strategies and uncover opportunities for growth, but you don’t have to source this data all on your own. A variety of market research firms regularly publish demographic data and present their findings in reports that are easy to access and download.
These reports often contain both secondary data and primary data to give you multiple layers of demographic information. Consumer survey results published in these reports can help you dig into consumer attitudes and behaviors as well — and you’ll save the time, effort, and cost of having to conduct these types of surveys on your own.
Curious to learn more? Here’s a look at 11 recent consumer research reports available on MarketResearch.com. Although there are a wide variety, you'll likely see some that are relevant to your interests.
